The article discusses the pedagogical background on which the design of the online tutorial Søk & Skriv ('Search and Write') is based. The tutorial Søk & Skriv is specially designed for distance learning students, but can also be used by students on campus. Søk & Skriv aims at increasing students' information and digital literacy with the ultimate goal of empowering them to gradually become legitimate members of the academic community, as well as lifelong learners. Further, the tutorial sets out to make a contribution to the pedagogical development of user education at the academic library.The article shows how a general didactical model, namely the didactical relationship model (Hiim & Hippe, 1998), has been applied to enrich information literacy education practice, and in this case specifically, to enrich the design of online education.

These include to publish scientific results, efficiently navigate different sources of information and literature, and to understand how measurements of scientific impact may affect funding and career opportunities. The students may also encounter ethical dilemmas, such as handling different co-author practices, disagreements on publication channels, and open access publishing. In a collaborative effort five Scandinavian research and university libraries have developed the free online resource PhD on Track, to help address these skills and knowledge needs of PhD students. The resource is primarily aimed at inexperienced PhD students, but may also prove valuable to more experienced researchers. In our poster we present the different elements of PhD on Track, highlight some of its potential uses and point to discussions of libraries as legitimate actors in PhD students’ research and learning. We value input from the research communities in an effort to include more specific resources and topics targeted at the biochemical and biological researchers, e.g. about research data repositories, and funding in cross-disciplinary framework programs. The www.phdontrack.net site was launched in 2013 and is already used as a resource in 7 countries. It is built on the results of an empirical study of PhD candidates practices and experienced challenges (Gullbekk et al 2012), conceived as part of the collaborative project “Information Management for Knowledge Creation” funded by the Norwegian National Library.
